Relocation of the CIFOM-ECP establishment, La Chaux-de-Fonds
The restructuring and conversion of the buildings of the former La Chaux-de-Fonds hospital have made it possible to regroup the classes of the Pierre-Coullery school, which are currently scattered throughout the town. The reorganization of the site will eventually make it possible to accommodate around 180 additional students from the entire BEJUNE territory (Bern, Jura and Neuchâtel). Due to a non-negligible proportion of adult students, a reflection is being carried out both on the sizing of parking needs on the reorganized site and on the implementation of mobility management measures. Specific measures to the various users (employees and adult students) are also proposed at the end of the process.
